The power of Sega Dreamcast brings the NFL to life as never before and challenges all of your previous conceptions about sports video games. From the draft to the Super Bowl, from fantasy tournaments to real NFL schedules, from play creation to player creation, it's all in NFL 2K1. Now, strap on your helmet and see if you can get past rookie mode. You see, we also put in the smartest, hardest-hitting AI, over 2,000 motioncaptured animations, and a sophisticated, skeletal-based, real physics collision system. Best of all, we've implemented full online s u p p o rt--making for some intense Dreamcast-to-Dreamcast action. With up to four players per console, NFL 2K1 is the first 8-player football game in history! This ain't your daddy's football game... this is the real NFL. Are you strong enough? Get out there and play! It's game time! NOTE: Sega SportsTM NFL 2K1 is a one- to four-player game. Before turning the Dreamcast Power ON, connect the controller(s) or other peripheral equipment into the control ports of the Dreamcast. To return to the title screen at any point during gameplay, simultaneously press and hold the A, B, X, Y, and Start buttons. This will cause the Dreamcast to soft-reset the software and display the title screen. When using a Visual Memory Unit (sold separately), insert it into Expansion Socket 1 of the Dreamcast controller if you wish to use VMU Play Calling. When using a Jump PackTM (sold separately), insert it into Expansion Socket 2 of the Dreamcast Controller. When the Jump Pack is inserted into Expansion Socket 1 of the controller, the Jump Pack does not lock into place and may fall out during gameplay or otherwise inhibit operations. The Jump Pack will allow you to feel the bone-crushing hits of NFL 2K1. Purchase additional controllers (sold separately) to play with two or more people. The game controls are all set to their default settings. To change the control settings, see the Game Options Menu on page 15. 2 3 NFL 2K1 is designed with analog functionality in mind. Analog not only provides a much fuller range of motion, but also adds to the overall depth of the game due to the level of precision control it allows. You'll be leading receivers with just the right touch and hitting the gaps with pinpoint accuracy with analog control. But for you old-schoolers out there, don't worry. NFL 2K1 has you covered, as you can use the D-Pad as well. Note that the controls and tips offered below refer to NFL 2K1's default controls, but alternate control schemes are available. To change the controller schemes, go to the Game Options->Control Menu. There you can choose from a selection of alternate control schemes. To highlight and select specific menu items, press the Analog Stick (or D-Pad) in the direction of the menu item until it highlights. If you have questions viewing most menus or play screens, press the Y button for Command Help. Keyboard NOTE: Never touch the analog stick, R, or L while turning the Dreamcast power on. Doing so may disrupt the controller initialization procedure and result in malfunction . Visual Memory Unit Jump Pack Button Action Analog Pad (or D-Pad) . . . . . . . . .

When you are playing a game with more than one person per team (e.g. two-on-two), either player on the team can select a play. If you are on offense, the first player to enter a play will be the quarterback. Be careful though, both players will be able to select the play at the same time, so you will want to designate who the play-caller will be. If you have VMU Play Calling activated, both players can cycle through the plays on the VMU. However, only the player who is plugged into the priority controller port will be able to view the plays on his/her VMU (Port A has priority over B, C, and D; Port B has priority over C and D; etc.).

The Pause Menu allows you to stop gameplay and call a time out, select your audibles, make substitutions, view the replay, change the game options and controller configuration, adjust the game camera angles, and view the current stats. When you are playing with more than one person, the player who pressed the Start Button to enter the Pause Menu has control of selecting all of the above options. Practice makes perfect. Head on over to the practice field to learn the formations and plays of your favorite team. Fine tune the running game, learn the timing of your passing routes, and find your defensive positioning.

Select the play situation Pick a specific Defensive play to practice against Pick a specific Offensive play to practice against From the Main Menu, you've got a ton of choices. Here is a quick description of all of the different game modes that NFL 2K1 has to offer. NOTE: Remember to press the Y button for Help Menus at any time to help navigate through each game menu. Randomize Down: Defense Play: Offense Play: 18 19 Choose either to play in a new tournament or load a previously saved one. Select your teams, and determine human or CPU control for each of the 4, 8, or 16 teams that are par ticipating in your tournament. As General Manager of your very own franchise, this is your chance to take the reigns and make all of the personnel decisions. Below, we've broken down the stages you'll encounter on your never-ending pursuit to build a football dynasty: REGULAR SEASON: Using either the standard or fantasy-draft roster, you have the power to switch your depth chart, add free agents, release players, trade with other teams, resign players, and even extend contracts. But use caution, all of your decisions must abide by the dreaded salary cap--be sure to acquire players who give the biggest bang for your buck. POST SEASON: Your team qualifies for the playoffs if it has one of the top records in the conference. There, you will have to win the Wild Card, Divisional, and Conference games before reaching the ultimate goal: The Super Bowl. Of course, the season doesn't end after that, because the best in the NFL soon set off to Hawaii to battle it out in the traditional Pro Bowl. Select your team and head on out to the Playoffs. If you can sur vive the competition, the Super Bowl trophy is yours! Build your own fantasy tournament or full fantasy league with this game mode. All available players will be placed in a giant free agent pool, then it's off to the draft. Once your team is built, you can take part in a Fantasy Tournament (4-, 8-, or 16-team single elimination) or play a full Fantasy League season. Draft your players, build your team, and play some football! RETIRED PLAYERS: Once the season is completed, your team will enter a re-tooling period. Certain players on your team will decide to hang up their jerseys for one reason or another, and your job is to go out and try to find their replacements via free agency, draft, or trade. Good Luck. RE-SIGNING PERIOD: Some players on your team will find that their contracts have expired. It's your job to determine whether or not they were essential components of your team. If they were, you might want to re-sign them to another contract in the form of more money or more years. Otherwise, you'll probably want to take the risk and lose them to free agency in hopes of finding a better replacement elsewhere. NOTE: You can either draft the team yourself or press the Start button to have the CPU automatically complete the draft order. 20 21 ROOKIE DRAFT: Here's where things get interesting. Your goal in the rookie draft is to find the players that are going to have an immediate--as well as long-term-- effect on your team. Remember, there's a salary cap to abide by and most of the top draft-picks won't come cheap, so choose wisely and hope you find some diamonds in the rough. SIGNING PERIOD: Rookies cannot play on your team unless they are under contract. During the signing period, you'll have a chance to sign your rookies just before the pre-season. You will also be notified of the positions that you need to fill in order to satisfy the league's roster position minimum. Don't worry, these positions can easily be filled through one of the many available transaction options. PRE-SEASON: Does your second-string quarterback have first-string capabilities? During the preseason, you'll have the chance to determine which players are best suited for which positions by shuffling your lineups around. From there, you'll have a better understanding of your team chemistry and the areas in which you need to improve. Before the pre-season ends, you'll be forced to pare down your roster to the 54-player league maximum, so be sure to choose carefully. By this point, you've made it back to the regular season, where you'll have to battle it out through another 17 weeks, marching your very own team down the road to The Super Bowl. .
